Agree .... but I don't think it's as simple as that.I think the problem is the midfield, not protecting them enough. Easy to play through etc.
He certainly had an off night but overall I think he's well worth his place.Is Ajayi still available for this one ? If so I'd be inclined to go 5 at the back, despite how poor he was on Friday
If he isn't, we still have Famewo who is more than capableIs Ajayi still available for this one ? If so I'd be inclined to go 5 at the back, despite how poor he was on Friday

Without McBurnie, we are so poor upfront. Gelhardts goals have papered over the cracks. Ball don't stick, hold up is next to non-existant, the threat (other than if Gelhardt is on it) is so weak, etc.
Midfield is as you say.
Defence is full of mistakes, and too often are all over the place. Without Hughes, who is too prone to mistakes, our passing out from defence is sub-standard.
Communication betweeen defence and keeper is clearly an issue.
We so desparately need key players back, but it just isn't happening and is taking an age, and if anything may be getting worse (with Lundstram and Drameh out, and possibly now Gelhardt - beyond ridiculous).

I think the loss of Belloumi and Millar not only has stifled us attacking wise, but it is maybe not recognised enough that when Belloumi came on against Boro, their fullback could not bomb forward as they have Belloumi to contend with attack wise, which does help us defensively.
hope its a short break and not the usual, hes aGelhardt will be out with a calf injury.
Wasn’t McBurnie’s injury first touted as a calf?
Lack of investment due to privatisation.Never mind the injury list, what's the weather forecast? If its like last Friday night I might go out and purchase a set of trawlerman's oil skins....
Maddest thing I saw on TV the other day was a public service announcement about saving water and the lack of rain that is leaving the reservoirs low....
FFS. When I looked out of the window there was a monsoon outside....WTF is happening to this country?
